Answer 1

Your code is working correctly. Try to print the url ($url) and confirm once if it is in the required format (/invoices/invoice_id/email). For example if your invoice_id is 1234, then the $url should be '/invoices/1234/email'. Also make sure that $this->apiUrl is https://books.zoho.com/api/v3
If there occurs a problem still u can use the help documents mentioned below:
https://www.zoho.com/books/api/v3/.

Answer 2

have you tried using full url : "https://books.zoho.com/api/v3/invoices/:invoiceno/email"
